Cucina Italiana, Killarney
July 16th, 2007
It’s not always easy to eat well in Killarney, but my sister and I were quite impressed by Cucina Italiana, a tiny restaurant hidden away at 17 St. Anthonys Place, a tiny lane off College Street. I had heard very positive reviews here and there from various people, and I would go a step further and say that there are few places in town where you could eat better. My main dish of grilled tuna was the best I have had in a long while. Especially don’t miss it if you like Italian food…

I am from Australia and visited Killarney last July. I work in the food industry in Australia and have been to many restaurants around the world. A standout is CUCINA ITALIANA in Killarney. Wow !!! Gnocchi made properly by an amazing Italian chef with IRISH potatoes and a simple fresh tomato and basil sauce. Simple, wonderful, fresh ingredients absolutely AMAZING. COMPLIMENTI !!!!
I was actually visiting the Ring of Kerry and had the pleasure of meeting two lovely girls from Bologna during the tour. They commented that they had not eaten Italian food since they had arrived three weeks before. I made enquiries at the hotel (Malton) and a gorgeous Polish girl smiled and gave us directions down the back streets to a tiny restaurant that was buzzing. She was right. As Italians know, the Bolognese have a reputation as some of the best cooks in Italy. The girls were impressed. The gnocchi were followed by a simple arrosto and vegetables that were once again absolutely sublime in their simplicity and flavour.
I don’t think that I am exagerating when I say that this tiny restaurants is one of the hidden wonders of the culinary world. I’ll be back !!!
